That recent bout of bad weather ruined my chances of getting a decent Autumn colour shot of a few of my trees!! Leaves one day and gone the next ❗

Another Alder
Not just as stunning as the last one I shared in a reblog from El Tim but a nice progression all the same. This one’s for you Stephen.
This is now in the caring hands of the Bonsai Baker but the previous owner has sent me photos of it from a few years back when it started out. He actually grew this from seed!
I’m not sure what dates these where taken but the last two are from the workshop at the weekend.

The Weekend in Photos
Well, another busy workshop weekend done and dusted.
Peter braved the Irish sea yet again to bring his own special brand of bonsai education to our shores. I personally found both days very enjoyable. A massive thank you to my long suffering bonsai wife Allison who puts up with this malarkey 3 times a year. Not easy having bonsai folk two days solid at our home, they are a likable bunch, mostly 😉 but I always look forward to Monday night and putting my feet up.
A big thank you to Peter Snart who has now completed year 3 of the school with us. I’m pretty sure that most members of the club don’t quite realise the effort that’s involved in making the weekend work. Thank you Peter.
Here are some of snaps of out twos days.
Autumn or Not!
There are certainly signs of Autumn everywhere in the garden but some trees seem to be ignoring it!
The larch is still showing no sign of turning and it’s nearly November!

A Few New Accents
What! More accents I hear you say 🙂 These were exchanged in my now regular swap sessions with Robert Porch who was over talking at our Club meeting this Friday.
Two Soldanella Alpina, one is ‘Minima’ and the other is ‘Alba’ which as the name suggests, will have a white flower.
And also this one which I have seen in a few Japanese origin photos, but I don’t know the name. Ideas?
Belgium Ardennes Gallery
My Dutch friend Harry, who always helps me out with photos from Bonsai Exhibits, obviously knows that I like a nice walk in the woods finding fungi to snap. I do this most Sundays with my dogs in tow.
Well, just to out do me 😉 he has sent me some photos from a recent visit to the Belgium Ardennes where he found many interesting fungi as well as some real life root over rock trees.
When I hear Ardennes I always think Battle of the Bulge, I’m a bit of a history buff as well! Always good to remember those who fought for their country, lest we forget.
Thanks for sharing Harry, I’m always happy to showcase here on the blog. That goes for anyone one else visiting exhibitions by the way 😉
Twisted
I spotted this tree growing at the edge of St James Park in London just directly behind Downing Street.
It even had an armed guard 🙂
